any offer for old trucks, with view 10 selling

which any length of ladder can be pulled and

We find that the present trucks can be re-
modelled and have the rollers put on at
cost of 500, making the whole cosi about $500
with freight on goods. With all these, the
apparatus will be on first-class footing for

although the committee had your instruc-

conclusion to your body. Our present trucks
will only carry 40 foot ladder. Buildings
are being erected over 80 feet high, making a
40 foot ladder useless on these, The improved
extension ladders now being used by fire de-
partlnents generally, can be- carried on the
trucks, and will reach most OF the taller build

one OF these. under the guarantee furnished
by the manufacturers. We find on inyesti-

Mound BuiIders' Work in Ohio.
The great serpent mound numbered among

This work is situated in the northern part OF
Adams county, somewhat remote from fire.
quent routes Of travel, and hence rarely Wis
tied by people from distance. Mr.. Holmes
notes and observations are therefore here re-
produced for the benefit of the many who
cannot visit the locality. This remarkable
mound is in the vicinity of Brush creek val
ley, which is bordered by extremely rugged
country Turning up the stream the lnvesti-
gator finds himself at the insertion of long,
narrow spur, best described as crescent
shaped, which holds its level to the extreme
point, and slopes abruptly to the brink OF the
eli II at the left. and rounds off more gently
into the deep gnlch at the right. This spur
narrows up farther on, and terminates in an
abrupt promontory, around the base of which
q small branch from the gulch at the right
turns and crosses the strip of alluvial bottom
to the creek. Along the rounded grassy crest
OF this ridge can be detected the obscure
oerpentine coils of the earthwork, and de-
scending little to the left and almost to the
brink of the cliff, is reached the tail Of the
serpent Beginning with small pit at the
terminal point, follow the unfolding coil for
two full turns and then advance along the
body to its highest point upon the ridge. The
curves are strong and even, and the body in
creases gradually in height and width as one
advances. Upon the crest of the ridge l.
found the beginning of three great double
folds. Following these, one descends into
slight sag in the ridge, but ascends again to a
point where the body Strengthens out along
the ridge. eyond this occurs the cuI iOus sn-
largement with its triangular and oval i'll
closures. Here the body embanknent Is
divided into two parts, which respectively
pass to the right and left of the Enclosures
At the sides they descend slightly upon the
slopes of the ridge, and at the widest part OF
the oval are somewhat obscure on account
either of original conformation or OF subse-
quent erosion. Beyond these breaks they
continue, closing entirely around the oval
embankment within. From the point Of
junction the body continues for a short dis
lance, perhaps forty feet, and then terminates
in "a rounded and slightly widened point.

THE MuTAeiLITY OF FORTUNE.
Incidents in the Early Life of Mr. Jo-
ssph Pulitzer. OF The New York World.

Incidents in the Early Life Of Mr. Jo-
ssph Pulitzer. OF The New York World.
Looking out from his editorial eyrie in
Park row and enjoying the serene conscious
ness that his autograph at the bottom of a
check will produce greenbacks from the
bank up to figure which we shall not as
sumo to specify, Hon. Joseph Pulitzer must
be impressed with the mutability of fortune,
since he can gaze upon the spot in the City
Hall park where he once enjoyed an uncere-
monious sleep with a hard bench for his bed,
and had his hat stolen into the bargain! He
doesn't shrink from telling the story himself,
and an excellent raconteur he is too. 1t
happened when he was mustered out of
Uncle Sans service at the. close of the war,
and when a good many honest fellows found
1t difficult to secure employment. He en-
coun.ered his full share of rebuffs, priva-
tions and hard knocks, and one day, fatigued
and footsore, was glad to stretch himself on
q park bench. While no slumbered some
mean sneak thief carried off his only hat
and he had to apply to the quartermaster
in order to procure a substitute to shelter
his waving tresses from the amorous breeze.
After he had pushed his way to st. Louis
and was p.uclZily struggling to gain foot
hold he had another unpleasant experience
with a member Of the light fingered frater-
nifty. By dint of rigorous economy he had
obtained a new suit of clothes, which he had
worn but short time when it was bundled
up and carried away from the modest room
In which he lodged, leaving the future pro
prietor Of The World with wardrobe that
was too scanty and bizarre to permit of his
appearance out of doors.
BY the way, not every body is aware that
Mr.. Pulitzer took a hand in settling the late
unpleas antness that the flashing of cannon
was the beacon that attracted him to our
shores Yet. as he himself tells it, his dOmi-
nant idea in coming hither was inspired by
his Youthful enthusiasm to aid in hberating
A, 900, 900 of the coiored race from bondage.
But what a singular adventure it that
sent him to sleep, like the vaSrant prince in
the fairy tale, hungry and tired, within bow
shot of his future pelatial headquarters!-
